Bob Corker

I can understand from the people's perspective that are doing this why they would want to go forward. And I understand that.

The question is, why would you say you're going to pull our troops out and lose control of a third of the country and do the things that caused us to lose all of our leverage and then go to Turkey with hat in hand and ask them to do…

This was one of the biggest foreign policy blunders that I can remember, maybe the biggest.

I ask again the Senator: For those of us, many in this body, including the Senator from Indiana, who worry that the mere refueling that may take place in Mali, where maybe we are supporting French troops, or the refueling in other…

Through the Presiding Officer I wish to ask the Senator from Indiana, what you are saying is that you are doing everything you possibly can do to ensure that if your amendment passes, never in the future will your amendment be relied upon…

I am really proud of what he is trying to do at the SEC.

I thank the Senator from New Jersey and our distinguished ranking member for his question and for working with me to pass this important legislation. ____________________

I wish to speak on S. 1862, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2017.

What I do know is that... the CIA director came in and with some analysts and gave the most precise presentation I've ever heard in 12 years.

I don't know what presentation he's seen. I don't. But -- I don't know. All I know is, you know, I know they have access to the same intelligence I have. ... And there's no question in my mind that the crown prince ordered this and…

A jury who heard what he heard today would convict Mohammed bin Salman in his words within 30 minutes.

Thanks to the leadership of Chairman Corker and the support of the members of this Committee...

We are hopeful that what we have done will make a big difference in the lives of so many people who suffer in bondage throughout the world.

I am proud that Senator Menendez and I worked to pass legislation with the entire committee, establishing the global fund to end modern slavery.

He took our nation to a very low level in the wake of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.

After learning the allegation, chairman @chuckgrassley took immediate action to ensure both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh have the opportunity to be heard in public or private. Republicans extended a hand in good faith. If we don't hear…

Do we really want to cut Sberbank off from the U.S. financial system?

What specifically should we do sanctions-wise, specifically, to punish Russia that will not punish Europe in any way and will not blow back on us?

I think getting this right matters, and I think anything we do to punish Russia that also punishes Europe actually accrues to Russia's benefit.

So our response always is sanctions.

We are dealing with a country that is willing to assassinate people in other countries, use military power to create a frozen conflict in Georgia, to take Crimea, to do the same in Eastern Ukraine.

I think a lot's been made out of nothing. I think there's the biggest issue they're going to have is figure out who wouldn't have written a letter like that.

By questioning the very premise of NATO... NATO is undoubtedly weakened.

A weakening of the alliance is not in U.S. national interests.
